[114] A very dull old lady, then residing with Mrs. Lloyd. [115] For this expression, see 'The Watsons' (in _Memoir_, p. 325). [116] Sir Thomas Williams, whose first wife was Jane Cooper; 'Whapshare' is the correct name of the lady. [117] Unpublished. [118] The Debaries were a large family, one of whom had the Parsonage near Ibthorp. [119] This seems to show that the balls were held at the town hall and not at the 'Angel Inn' (_Miss Hill_, pp. 51-54). [120] Probably Jane wrote 'Axford Buildings,' which were a continuation of Paragon towards Walcot Church. [121] Eliza Fowle. [122] _Memoir_, p. 64. [123] The Duke of Sussex, who married, without the King's consent, Lady Augusta Murray. CHAPTER XI BATH AGAIN 1801-1805 In the separation of Jane and Cassandra, the letters begin again. Paragon: Tuesday [May 5, 1801]. MY DEAR CASSANDRA,-- . . . Our journey here was perfectly free from accident or event; we changed horses at the end of every stage, and paid at almost every turnpike. We had charming weather, hardly any dust, and were exceedingly agreeable, as we did not speak above once in three miles. * * * * * We had a very neat chaise from Devizes; it looked almost as well as a gentleman's, at least as a very shabby gentleman's; in spite of this advantage, however, we were above three hours coming from thence to Paragon, and it was half after seven by your clocks before we entered the house. Frank, whose black head was in waiting in the hall window, received us very kindly; and his master and mistress did not show less cordiality. They both look very well, though my aunt has a violent cough. We drank tea as soon as we arrived, and so ends the account of our journey, which my mother bore without any fatigue. * * * * * There is to be only one more ball--next Monday is the day. The Chamberlaynes are still here. I begin to think better of Mrs. C., and upon recollection believe she has rather a long chin than otherwise, as she remembers us in Gloucestershire,[124] when we were very charming young women. The first view of Bath in fine weather does not answer my expectations; I think I see more distinctly through rain. The sun was got behind everything, and the appearance of the place from the top of Kingsdown was all vapour, shadow, smoke, and confusion.
